Formation kinetics of cyclopentane–methane binary clathrate hydrate

Enhanced clathrate hydrate formation kinetics at near ambient temperatures and moderate pressures: Application to natural gas storage

“…sH mixed methane hydrate formation in presence of large guest molecules had been investigated in detail by Susilo et al [37,43]. Other notable kinetic studies for mixed methane hydrate formation with use of thermodynamic promoters include the formation of mixed methane hydrates in presence of cyclopentane [19,41] and tetrahydrofuran (THF) [2,40,44]. All kinetic studies available on mixed methane hydrate formation at higher temperatures (with and without thermodynamic promoters) have been performed only in stirred tank reactor configuration [45,46].…”

“…Thus, the choice of a thermodynamic promoter must provide significant impact on the operating and storage conditions albeit a penalty on the storage capacity of methane is inevitable. Many thermodynamic promoters have been reported and studied for methane hydrate formation [2,14,19,[36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44]. Though exhaustive literature is available on the hydrate phase equilibrium conditions for these different thermodynamic promoters, kinetic investigation studies using these promoters are relatively scarce.…”

Influence of cationic and non-ionic surfactants on the kinetics of mixed hydrogen/tetrahydrofuran hydrates

“…This is a key attribute for gas hydrates in gas storage and transport applications. Other applications of gas hydrates are in gas separation (Babu et al, 2013a;Kang and Lee, 2000;Linga et al, 2007aLinga et al, , b, 2010Link et al, 2003;Torré et al, 2012), desalination (Babu et al, 2014;Cai et al, 2014;Park et al, 2011;Sun et al, 2004) and cold storage (Shi and Zhang, 2013;Xie et al, 2010;Zhang and Ma, 2012).…”

Separation Technologies for Salty Wastewater Reduction in the Dairy Industry

“…Ultrasonic energy had also been used to aid the formation of the clathrates (97). Different gas pairs are also being investigated to eliminate the need for refrigeration and to form the hydrates at more moderate pressures (98).…”
